Ranveer Singh is super excited to play Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan’s next

Ranveer Singh, who will be playing the lead role in Kabir Khan’s next film ’83, based on the life of cricketing legend Kapil Dev and his spectacular World Cup win, is pumped up to portray the cricketing legend. Ranveer Singh, who’s currently waiting for the release of his film Padmavati, has already started prepping up for his next film, Gully Boy opposite Alia Bhatt. After this is complete, he will step into the shoes of Kapil Dev.

The actor spoke to a leading daily about his role in ‘83 and said, “I remember when Kabir came to me with the movie, I was like, ‘chalo, it’s great that finally, someone is planning to make a mainstream Hindi film on the 1983 World Cup victory.” He added, “It infused the nation with a lot of pride and was clearly a turning point in our sports history. I wasn’t aware that 1983 victory turned the tide because I thought cricket has always been a huge sport in our country.”

On being questioned about his transformation for the film, Ranveer said, “Bas woh bowling action aa jaaye. I hope Kapil sir himself gives me some training and tips. It will be absolutely fantastic. It goes without saying that the physical transformation is going to be an important part.” Seems like the energetic and suave looking star is looking forward to the shooting of the film. We can’t wait for the first look of the film. Can you?
